I do not you recommend that you cut this bow down due to the design of this style. Your bow lenght you need must also be determined by your draw lenght this bow may hold up with short lenght if you had previous experience building and tillering bow and get the upper and lower equal.

No, this bow will not come with a string or instructions. I recommend that you get a dvd on bow building before purchasing this kit. Rattlestick by Gary Davis is a good source of bow building information and technique.

Q:

What pound ranges are available? I shoot 50# recurve, but am interested in the 65 pounder!

You would be able to back this bow with any of those options. I would recommend using Titebond for all of the different backings.

Q:

This will be my first project and I am wondering if the bow is tapered at the ends or not? Can it be left the way it comes shipped and just tillered to my desired weight or will I have to shape the bow before tillering?

Their is a lot of steps for building a bow.I would call in and talk to one of the Tecs before buying one so you know what tools are needed.A good bowfishing bow is the Sage and your AMS would mount strait to it. This set up would work better and be more cost effective.
